The hinge 1 comprises a mounting plate 2 and sides 3 made for example of bent metal plates. A hinge part (not shown) is rotatably mounted on the side part 3 and, for example, a door or a flip is fixed on the side part. The mounting plate 2 can be fixed to the side wall of the furniture body or a household appliance. The side part 3 is displaceably mounted on the mounting plate 2 via a depth adjusting unit 40 and rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 2 via a vertical adjusting unit 50 in order to align the door or flap in the closed position. Has been. For this purpose, a bolt 4 is provided which penetrates the mounting plate 2 and is used for mounting the side part 3.

Hinge 1 is shown in various exploded views in FIGS. 2A-2C.
The mounting plate 2 comprises a rectangular body, which has a U-shaped cross section and is laterally provided with two arms 20 which are provided with openings 21 for fastening means. Alternatively, the mounting plate 2 can be embodied only as a rectangular body and the fastening means can be arranged on the rectangular body and the two arms 20 can be omitted. In each case, recesses 22 through which the bolt 4 penetrates are formed on both sides of the rectangular body. The bolt 4 is in this case provided with thick ends 5 on both sides, which constrains the bolt in the direction of its longitudinal axis. The mounting plate 2 further comprises an elongated U-shaped receptacle 25 through which the threaded bolt of the vertical adjustment unit 50 passes. The threaded points of the vertical adjustment unit 50 in this case engage the side edges of the U-shaped receiving part 25 and the adjustment of the side parts 3 with respect to the mounting plate 2 is carried out by rotating the threaded points. In this case, the threaded bolt of the vertical adjustment unit 50 is rotatably attached via the offset pin 51 of the side part 3. Alternatively, a screw may be provided on the side 3 and for example the offset pin 51 may be inserted into the U-shaped receiving portion 25 of the mounting plate.

The vertical adjustment unit 50, which is formed as a bolt with external threads, is arranged so that it can be rotated but not displaced axially, for example by pushing the vertical adjustment unit 50 into the opening of the side part 3.
Furthermore, a catch element 6 is provided for fixing the side part 3 on the mounting plate 2, the catch element 6 being formed as a U-shaped molding and having two opposite receiving parts 8 into which the bolt 4 can be inserted. A hook element 7 is provided on the leg. Furthermore, laterally projecting webs 9 are formed on the catch element 6, which webs are inserted into the slot-like openings of the two legs 31 of the side 3 or the two legs of the mounting plate 2.

The side part 3 is formed as a rectangular element, is U-shaped in cross section and comprises a transverse web 30 formed with an opening 32 for inserting a depth adjustment unit. Two slanted legs 31 project above the transverse web 30 which at least partly surround the mounting plate 2 and its slots 22.
